With
another year gone, it’s chance for the latest installment of the Pogie Awards.
These awards celebrate novelty in technology. As always, these awards don’t go to the best
products of the year; what could be more boring? In place of, the Pogies celebrate the best ideas of
the year: ingenious features that somehow made it out of cabinet and into real-world products,
even if the resulting products aren’t that superb.
• Verbatim Stay ’n’ Store 16-gigabyte beam drive ($25): Imagine a USB flash drive
so small, you can barely even proclaim it’s there. You leave it plugged into your laptop all the time.
It’s like adding storage without having to unconditional your machine.
The Stay ’n’ Store is not particularly wantonly. But it’s a quick, easy, convenient way to take the
strain off an overstuffed hard tool along.
